    i never thought of coffee filters.i guess ill pick a couple up today. i'll have look at the pics again, but i might need to give you a call. not quite sure why you need a tub in tub design. why not just one tub with filtration and hanging coffee filters. i am going to start some breeding again in 3 weeks or so and i will give this a try.

    Big Tuck - thanks for posting this! Especially with the difficulty you've expressed with typing. It's very interesting. Thank you!

    Maybe someone else can help me with one thing I'm not clear on. I don't want to bother Big Tuck when we may get a full write up from someone else soon..

    From the two posts above, it looks like the plan is to have dead BBS, and I assume detritus, to be picked up by the filter. But that filter is in the large container, and it appears that the small container that has the waste fall into it has its flow-thru to the larger container covered by a sponge. If so, how do the dead BBS get to the filter?

    Thanks.

    2 batches of red butterfly 12 days apart from the same pair.Half were attached to parents and the others were raised in my NUTTY PROFESSOR gismo.Not possible for me to tell which is which.Im convinced,if you have problems with egg eating,this is a sure fire easy way to go. Tuck
